you have two other moments for fiscal showdown, you have the spending sequester, cuts to defense and then the spending programs. you have continuing resolution, which funds the government. if we don't come to an agreement, has a government shutdown. i had a senate aide saying it is a fact of the senate that people are just breathing a sigh of relief, we may just have a government shutdown. doesn't seem to me there is a clear path, you could have a shutdown. if that lasts for a long time as it did in the '90s, that comes at the tail end of that, shutting down the government, that would be pretty dramatic. >> they made two calculations here. they wanted to have a fight on the shutdown as related to a continuing resolution, but you don't hear any republican talking about moving towards default. they don't want to be politically associated with default. maybe you're right, they will be willing to have a shut down if they don't give them a cut on continuing resolution. probably off the table long-term. but big picture is interesting, the republicans with the short term extension, are putt

and john kerry, two vietnam vets about to take the helm of, you know, the state department and the defense department, will that help bring some of these lessons to bear? >> well, kerry and hagel saw the war firsthand in the delta, one of the areas where it was packed with civilians and where there were tremendous number of civilian casualties so i think that they did see some of the worst of the war. i would hope that having seen that up close and personal they'd be more reticent of taking this country to war. i think we have to hope for the best, that they can take that out of vietnam experience. i don't think that the carnage in today's wars is comparable to vietnam when it comes to civilians but we do know that civilians are still dying on a regular basis and still suffering a great deal and i'm afraid that, you know, if history is any guide we may not know the full story of that suffering for decades. >> all right. nick turse, thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> up next, the cyclist's favorite inaugural moments and never guess who picked one from the 1800s. it's not who you think.

i think there is a lot of room in the defense budget for cuts, but our primary focus in terms of the economy should be job creation. so that means that the government has to spend in order to create economic stability. economic progress. we need jobs in this economy for middle class people and that's what will make this economy stronger and so if we cut then we're going against that very basic economic principle. when you constrict the budget and cut off the flow of money, you're not going have as many jobs available. so i am not -- i am not in favor of drastic cuts in spending at this time, but i do think long term we should be looking at reducing our debt and restoring fiscal sanity to our budget. >> a group of house democrats, yourself included you want to do away with the debt ceiling law altogether. this is congressman jerry neven, this is what he had to say about it. take a listen. >> it is time to repeal the debt ceiling and today we're introducing legislation to do just that. instead of playing a game of chicken with the full faith and credit of the united states, we must dea
